Welcome to the Old Boltonians AFC

Welcome to the website for Old Boltonians AFC, the club that continues to provide football and social gatherings for ex-Bolton School footballers and friends in the Lancashire Amateur League since 1920. Located in the scenic hills of Chapeltown near Turton the football pitches are believed to be the oldest still in use in England (and hence the world). From August to May on matchdays all visitors are welcome. Otherwise just keep in touch with events on and off the field via this website.
